...please don't try to pretend that said position is any more knowledgable or reasonable than those of us who believe that there is ample evidence to suggest that Bonds took steroids knowingly, repeatedly, and unapologetically.

I don't know that it is any more knowledgeable or reasonable. My point is simply that without proof and in light of the fact that Bonds was a great homerun hitter, we ought to let this pass.

Taking steroids yields a competitive advantage which is NOT legally available to other athletes, and therefore breaches a specific ethical boundary. Steroids are illegal not because of performance enhancement, but rather due to health concerns. Steroid use in competitive athletics is unethical due to both the performance enhancement and the legality.

You seem to be contradicting yourself. Let's assume that there is a substance that enhances performance and causes no health problems. Should athletes be prohibited from ingesting that substance?
